My fever and misery is now subsiding. Are there long-term risks associated with continuing to allow the problem resolve naturally? If safe enough, I'd prefer to skip the lengthy doctor visit so I can meet my deadlines at work. (I can work from home.)

The number next to the symptom indicates the order in which they were noticed. I have taken only Advil or Tylenol (to reduce fever). The liquid bowel movement volume decreased with time, but increased in frequency.

I blew off my deadlines and went to the doctor. He said it was likely Salmonella. He said I was healthy enough that he recommended letting it resolve naturally. He said it was unwise for someone in my position to consume water only. He recommended warm chicken or beef broth.
